I'm excited to read your original writing! I hope everything goes well for you. Retail/customer service is definitely a stressful job 😪

AAAAA THANK YOU. i hope everything goes well too orz;; writing original work is hard, but fun and very rewarding! especially since im lowkey obsessed with what im writing. its certainly better than dollar general that for true.

#asks #i just finished the rough draft for chapter two today #im 10k words in…… just gotta keep going #writing in third person pov is a lot to get used to especially with two characters that use he/him pronouns #i use their names every other sentence and it gets so tedious and repetitive #but if i dont you cant tell who is doing what #OUUUUGGHHHHHH #BUT THANK YOU FOE THE ENCOURAGEMENT I NEED IT <33

HIIIIIII life update: im gonna be taking a bit of a hiatus from writing fanfiction for who knows how long, probably until the fixation hits again and i cant be controlled, but truthfully my job era has made me realize that i CANNOT be working retail for the rest of my life. so, ive decided to write something original and do something with it. hopefully publish it. im nervous to say that out loud because i feel like im overestimating my abilities, but ill never know until i try. im hoping to be able to build a future doing something i really genuinely love, but i REALLY gotta lock in on writing it so it. because i have a hard time actually finishing things.

i wont be posting it anywhere online because that would make getting published hard, which is the end goal, and id hate to delete it after having it up. man idk that just doesnt sit right with me. im kind of sad my feedback will be limited due to this choice, and also because i REALLY love sharing my writing and im impatient. but hopefully the end goal will be well worth it.

if anyones curious about the project im working on, feel free to ask! i would be more than happy to talk about it. im hesitant to just come out of the gate blabbering because its so left field from fanfiction and likely not what yall followed me for. i do fully intend to finish every fic ive ever started, i just gotta think about my future a little bit. get me out of retail for the love of god.

but that’s the update! if im radio silent for a while, thats what im working on. i feel weirdly guilty talking about it because i feel like im abandoning (im not actually abandoning it i prommy) stuff yall are actually interested in, in favor of something new.

#thats the gist of it. if you wanna hear about the project i implore you to ask because i cant talk about it without feeling weird #i wanna talk about the project so bad im just insane. #some details: its a queer time travel romantic comedy between a farmer and a roman soldier set in rural kentucky #super niche i think but im building something insane

Chapter Nine

A flash of movement snapped you out of your thoughts. You ducked deeper into the shrubbery, thankful for your insistence to stay as filthy as possible. While you couldn’t see yourself, you knew you were well hidden. There had been many times that you had to hide from other humans — nevermind that these weren’t humans you were dealing with — and not once had you been caught. You knew how to still your body and blend in with your surroundings.

In order of what you preferred, it was hide then run then fight. While you were adept at all three, if you could avoid a confrontation, you would be pleased with the outcome. You didn’t enjoy bloodying your hands, or, in this case, making them dusty. If you had to, you would, though you knew you would hesitate before the final blow. You always did. It would get you killed one day.

Low grumbling caught your attention. It sounded like someone was complaining to themself, right under their breath. Barely audible over the sounds of nature, you made out lumbering footfalls. Feathers were what you saw first, and a stab of fear pierced your heart, terrified of another encounter with Shrike, before you realized that they were dull and tattered. A large skeleton stepped into your line of sight. Though he was shorter than Velvet by a significant amount, he was wide with thick bones. He wore a bomber jacket, the sleeves rolled up to display impressive forearms. His jeans were riddled with holes, held up by a thick black belt. A pair of broken wings were folded behind his massive frame.

It was Vulture and he was staring right at you.

#undertale x reader #papyrus x reader #sans x reader #nemesis & nike #CHAPTER NINE FINALLY #back to our regularly scheduled programming #also in my planning notes all i had written down for this chapter was ‘vulture drone strike’ mad at my past self for leaving me flying blind #sowwy for the cliffhanger please forgive me #<- not sorry

Chapter Eight

If it turned out that Velvet deserted you, that was his choice too, one you couldn’t bring yourself to begrudge even if the thought made you want to rip your hair out. You weren’t worth enough to stick around for, you knew that. So why did it hurt so bad to think that he had left? Ideas of what you may have done wrong ran endlessly through your mind. What was the final straw? What did you do to chase away the first person to show you kindness in years? It was possible you were that broken, that there was something so fundamentally wrong with you that it would inevitably chase everyone away. It simply took Velvet longer to see it.

Your brother must have seen it too, all those years ago. You wondered what kind of monster he saw in your eyes to make him leave you behind. He must have told everyone what he saw in you, the wolf that needed feeding.

After all, no one came back for you.

(They left you all alone.)

(You were scared of dying alone.)

good news! chapter eight drops tomorrow. bad news. got my schedule for the week after next and its not looking good for the writing mines. i think my schedule will stay like this, so instead of sitting down for hours to write on my days off, ill have to do small bursts over a couple of days, which i am definitely not used to. im sure ill get used to it though! wish me luck 😭

just a heads up but i got my work schedule for next week and lets just say not a lot of writing is gonna get done

#yippie chapter eight!!!!! #L for my unfortunate job era #i miss being able to write all the time but we must march on i am gonna make big bucks so win #oh to not have to work and write my silly little stories all day
